Stressed out? Worn out? Bummed out? Feeling fearful or frustrated? Uncertain or overcome? Helpless?

What if there’s help?

What’s if there’s someone to walk with you? Guide you. Shoulder the load. So you don’t have to go it alone. What if this help was sent from above? Not someone who, like us, is prone to getting worn out, stressed out or bummed out. But a “heavenly helper” who’s ever strong and powerful. Never tires. Is always near. Unhindered by what hinders us.

Interested?

If so, there’s good news: Help is here.

And Max Lucado’s Help is Here shows you how with this delightful and insightful look at the presence, work, and purpose of the Holy Spirit. Without being preachy.

Now, if you’re looking for something all spooky-wooky-kooky or wacko-jacko, keep looking. Cuz this ain’t it. Beautifully written in clear, easy to understand language, Help is Here is packed with reminders that the Good Shepherd doesn’t just feed believers. He leads. Directs. Comforts. Guides. Protects.  

Row-boat Christianity exhausts and frustrates. Those who attempt it are left depleted and desperate at the attempt. Those who let the Spirit do the work, on the other hand, find a fresh power. Life still has storms. The water grows rough. But they are not left to face the fury on their own.

In this highly readable and eminently engaging book, Max gives readers the tools and the encouragement needed to:

• Become joyful, enthusiastic, and empowered as you draw closer to God.
• Learn who the Spirit is and how the Spirit can help you.
• Find rest and peace as you let the Spirit carry your burdens.
• Discover your unique gits and purpose to further God’s kingdom.

Reading Help is Here is like sitting down in your best friend’s kitchen for a chat and a cuppa. On a sunny summer day when the sky pours out a flawless curve of blue. And you just can’t get enough of the warmth or the conversation.

Grand Slam

Max has long occupied a top shelf on our Favorite Authors List. We love this guy. Almost as much as extra crispy bacon. Almost. He hits a home run with Help Is Here. We’re talking grand slam, baby!

Help is here! The greatest force, the only true force, in the universe is your ally, your spokesperson, your advocate.

Extraordinary

Saturated in grace and marinated in mercy, Help is Here is one of those extraordinary books that leaves you refreshed. Recharged. Smiling from the inside-out. Like you’ve just taken a shower for your soul. Or someone remembered extra doggie treats.

Fresh. Crisp. Insightful. Effervescent. The tone is kind and gentle. Light and refreshing. With Lucado’s signature champagne-esque writing style and gentle self-deprecating humor, Help Is Here is profound. Rubber-meets-the-road practical. If you’re weary, stressed-out or bummed out, you may want to grab a copy.

Kimber: One of us really needed this book. The Ole Curmudgeon was running on fumes. Help is Here refilled her tank. And then some. So watch out world and look out, low-flying aircraft!

‘Sides. We can’t even put into words how much we loved this book. It’s the best thing we’ve read in… what decade is it?

Our Rating: 5+ stars.
